Abstract: A system using an optical disk format for representing several synchronized signals, e.g. multiple versions of motion pictures and multiple soundtracks which is made up of an optical disk (23), signal processors (67, 71), buffer circuitry (53, 55, 57, 59) and audio (91) and video (94) output devices. All signals are represented digitally, and the bits are arranged in data blocks. Each data block may contain a variable number of bits for each signal, ranging from none to many (relative to the other signals). This allows each signal to be represented by a variable rate bit stream, without one signal necessarily constraining another as far as bit representation is concerned. Multiple buffers are provided to insure that there are a sufficient number of bits available for each signal as required for immediate needs. When any buffer is full, reading of the data blocks stops temporarily so that no bits are lost.

Abstract: According to the invention, the object of the method and the appartus associated herewith is to avoid the disadvantages which arise in a plate pasteurizing apparatus for the pasteurizing of a liquid product in a continuous flow during and after a stop in production. When pasteurizing with known plate pasteurizing apparatus, the product is led through a holding pipe, which has the disadvantage that the temperature in this holding pipe cannot be controlled during a possible stop in production. Therefore, in existing apparatus it is necessary to have a large buffer tank which can contain 1/2 - 1 hour's production, which is very space-demanding. Production in excess of this interval is wasted. According to the invention, this problem is solved by providing each individual zone (6) in the pasteurizing area with a connection (16) for heating (19) and/or cooling (20) of the product, so that in the event of a stop in production it is possible to hold the temperature below the pasteurizing temperature, and upon re-starting to heat the product again to a temperature close to the pasteurizing temperature.

Abstract: Method and device for determining in dialysis treatment the content of waste products in the outgoing dialysis liquid from the dialyzer. Measurement of the concentration of a certain substance or a combination of substances included in the waste products is effected spectrophotometrically directly on the outgoing dialysis liquid from the dialyzer. For that purpose there is provided after the dialyzer in or after the dialysing machine a measuring cell for spectrophotometric measurement. The measurement value obtained is multiplied by the flow of dialysis liquid for determining the content of said substance or said combination of substances in the outgoing dialysis liquid from the dialyzer.

Abstract: Improved silicon carbide composites made by an infiltration process feature a metal phase in addition to any residual silicon phase. Not only are properties such as mechanical toughness improved, but the infiltrant can be so engineered as to have much diminished amounts of expansion upon solidification, thereby enhancing net-shape-making capabilities. Further, multi-component infiltrant materials may have a lower liquidus temperature than pure silicon, thereby providing the practitioner with greater control over the infiltration process. In particular, the infiltration may be conducted at the lower temperatures, where low-cost but effective bedding or barrier materials can terminate the infiltration process once the infiltrant has migrated through the permeable mass up to the boundary between the mass and the bedding material.
